Gardening addict by day, net surfing addict by night. So time to break some habits and start making things instead of just reading about them. A gorgeous clothkits parcel arrived this week. A wonderful present of a new sewing machine arrived today (thanks mum). And hopefully the completed pinny will arrive in time for the birthday girl on Tuesday.

Yeah! Looks lovely. Great blog by the way…
Perfect!
what a talent! inspirational and so well presented
I started to learn how to knit early this year, but it has been on hold since the veg started growing. I would love to take up some sewing too, hopefully will. Must put time aside, but sometimes its not so easy.
I find knitting and summer completely incompatible so won’t be dusting my needles off until at least November!
